Can't help with the talking through (I'm in the UK) but that's a nice-looking instrument (had a look via the link). Helmut makes quite a range of HGs (I have his Spiellent model. Just the right size and weight for me). I'm sure you'll enjoy playing it. Don't forget to send him a photo of yourself with the HG for him to put on his friend's page (I'm on it). http://www.saitenklang.de/english/friends_hg.htm Happy playing!
